Learn To Play Therapy
Learn-to-Play Therapy helps children improve their play, especially if they find it difficult to use their imagination. This therapy uses fun activities to help children grow their play skills and language abilities. It helps children make friends, understand and express their feelings, and learn new ways of thinking.
Children with diagnoses of global developmental delays, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down syndrome, or other learning difficulties would benefit from this therapy.

“We have been seeing Golnaz weekly for 4 years. She has built a wonderful relationship with our son Rocky and our family. We have seen such great progress.
Golnaz has been such an asset to our team helping Rocky build on his skills and communication through play.Play therapy with Golnaz is by far Rocky’s favourite therapy and lights up when Golnaz arrives with her box of games and activities.
It’s been an absolute joy to see our son Rocky blossom and learn through play with Golnaz.”
